Our Process

We purchase quality day old chicks and rear them cage free on the floor in our own barns.

This gives them a chance to acclimatize to our area whilst we insure they get the best and most healthy rearing possible. We use a custom diet containing no animal products, no hormones and no routine antibiotics. We follow a strict health and bio-security routine, regularly testing their health and their environment to ensure good health and growth.

At 17 weeks of age, the hens are carefully moved a few hundred meters to their laying house where they will spend the next 63 weeks roaming around in their cage free environment. Here they lay their eggs in a hygienic nest box of their choice, whilst still being able to keep their feet in fresh shavings, take a regular shavings bath and interact with each other in the communal barn.

By using quality “on farm” reared hens, a custom diet, river fresh water, fresh air and our spacious open barns Finchley Farms is able to exclusively produce quality midlands Barn Eggs in a cage free environment.

We strive for an uncomplicated, stress free environment ensuring quality of life and best performance from our hens.
